The entire wupeng boat sank to the bottom of the water. There was endless water flowing around it, and even water splashing around the boat, but no water entered the boat.
Ji Yuan's eyes never change, but in fact, this scene is very shocking to him. To some extent, it is no less stimulating than the feeling of a small boat flying in the sky.
Watching the small boat shuttling back and forth under the water, seeing many aquatic creatures swimming by, and looking up to see the white light of the water surface above in the dim light, Ji Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of novelty.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and then Ji Yuan looked at the old man standing at the bow of the boat with some helplessness.
"Mr. Ying, are you hiring someone or just forcibly abducting me..."
Ying Hong laughed, “Hehe.”
"I apologize to Mr. Ji. His whereabouts are too erratic. I can't treat you to this dinner, but I'm still thinking about you!"
At this point, Old Long Yinghong felt much more relieved. Being able to tease Ji Yuan was also a way to vent his anger after three years of searching for someone.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Ji. Those who can attend my birthday party are more or less people who practice peaceful cultivation. They will not be too annoying to you!"
Old Long glanced at the Qingteng Sword leaning against the shed in the cabin. Although there was no sword intent or sword energy flowing out of it, and it was just like an ordinary weapon, Old Long intuitively thought of the sword marks on Mount Wafeng.
A black-sailed boat was sailing quickly at the bottom of the Tongtian River. It was naturally very eye-catching underwater, especially as it got closer to the Tongtian River, it attracted the patrolling Yaksha.
When they saw Old Long Yinghong standing at the bow, no one dared to stop him or even ask any questions.
The black-sailed boat sailed into the Tongtian River Water Palace and went directly to the main hall of the Water Palace. Dragon Son Ying Feng and Dragon Daughter Ying Ruoli had already been waiting in front of the main hall.
To be honest, as the boat entered the Water Palace, even Ji Yuan couldn't help feeling a little nervous. The main reason was that the demonic energy here was too strong, especially with the dragon energy suppressing it. Fortunately, the evil energy was not severe, but it did not completely disappear.
Seeing the black-sailed boat slowly stop, the two people in front of the hall hurriedly saluted and greeted it.
"Greetings, Daddy!" "Greetings, Daddy!"
After saying this, Ying Ruoli looked up with a wry smile.
"Father, you're finally back, otherwise this situation wouldn't be sustainable!"
"Yes, Dad, if you don't come back, we're going to make a stupid move!"
As they spoke, Ying Feng and Ying Ruoli both turned their eyes to the other person on the boat.
This person was wearing a straw hat and a straw raincoat. Under the straw raincoat should be an ordinary loose white robe. The key point is that there was no magical light manifesting from his body, and there was no other magical thing.
But when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. If it were any other situation, he would probably be treated as an ordinary person. Is that possible in this situation
"Is this the friend that Dad said he must find?" "Who is this person?"
While his son and daughter were daydreaming, the old dragon had already jumped off the boat and entered the water that was as clear as air.
Ji Yuan had no choice but to stay on the sloop forever, so he reached out to touch the clear water outside the boat, took off his straw raincoat and hat, and stepped out.
The water quality in this water palace is obviously very special. Although I do have the ability to avoid water, it is strange that I can't feel much resistance in the water. It feels like I am walking in the breeze.
The old dragon raised his hand and led the dragon son and daughter.
"Mr. Ji, this is my daughter Ying Ruoli. She is still a dragon and the true god of Tongtian River. However, her status as a god is only auxiliary, and she has not fallen behind in the true path."
Ji Yuan had been observing these two people for a long time. The female one did look somewhat similar to the statue in the Temple of the Goddess Jiang.
"This is the little boy Ying Feng, who also has the body of a dragon."
When Lao Long introduced them, Ji Yuan did not say anything or make any movements, thinking that he would greet them after Lao Long finished his introduction. However, Lao Long had just finished the first two sentences when he directly said to the dragon son and daughter:
"Hurry up and salute your Uncle Ji!"
Uncle Ji? Ji Yuan, who was now somewhat knowledgeable, was confused by the old dragon again. As a result, when he saw the dragon son and daughter, he bowed respectfully.
"Meet Uncle Ji!"
Seeing them speaking in unison, Ji Yuan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly bowed in return.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite, just tell me to calculate the fate!"
Lao Long on the side laughed again.
"Mr. Ji, this black-sailed boat will be temporarily placed in the palace courtyard and will be sent back after the banquet."
As soon as Lao Long waved his hand, the boat sailed to the side by itself, but the layer of bubbles never dissipated, so that the bedding and other sundries in the cabin were not stained by water.
But before that, the Green Ivy Sword concealed its spiritual charm and floated up on its own, flying behind Ji Yuan.
The old dragon just glanced at the Qingteng Sword with a smile. The dragon son and daughter didn't see anything at first. It was only because of their father's hint that they concentrated their attention and discovered that there was a sword behind this "Uncle Ji".
"Mr. Ji, please come. As the saying goes, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Tonight is the birthday banquet. Last time, I promised to let you drink to your heart's content. This time, I will never break my promise!"
The old dragon stretched out his hand and led the way to the main hall. The interior had already been decorated and looked dazzling and brilliant, showing the luxury of the Dragon Palace.
Things have come to this, there is no point in Ji Yuan feeling helpless, so he can only smile nonchalantly.
"Mr. Ying, please go first!"
You have to go ahead with it because you are forced to do something you don't want to do.
. . .
There were not many aquatic creatures qualified to come to celebrate the True Dragon's Thousand Year Birthday Banquet, but there were quite a few. At least this main hall of the Water Palace could not accommodate them all, so the banquet involved four large halls, and guests were seated in order of status.
Ji Yuan was not sure what the etiquette was for such a scene, but it seemed that Old Dragon was not going to pay any attention to anything. He, an outsider, was actually arranged to sit on the right side of the master seat in the main hall. Next to him in the lower row was the dragon girl Ying Ruoli, and to the left of the master seat was Ying Feng.
Whenever a guest arrived at the table, the first thing they did was to wish Zhenlong a happy birthday, and the second thing they did was to stare at Ji Yuan carefully and then sit down with doubts.
So this is the situation. Around the hour of You that evening, on the eve of the start of the banquet where all the aquatic creatures gathered, most of the attention in the venue was focused on Ji Yuan.
Although the demons present here were all quite accomplished, in terms of their spiritual wisdom, few could see Ji Yuan's Green Ivy Sword. In the eyes of the water demons, Ji Yuan would be no different from an ordinary person if he hadn't avoided the water.
Fortunately, this extremely embarrassing moment only lasted for a short while. After all the guests from each hall had taken their seats, outside the main hall, a yaksha raised a steel hammer and smashed it at a bronze bell in the water.
With a sound of "dong~~~", the water spread out with waves of fine water.
"Let's have a banquet~~~~~"
A very novel scene appeared in Ji Yuan's eyes. Countless aquatic creatures swam towards the palaces carrying plates of delicious food and pots of fine wine.
A big blackfish swam past Ji Yuan's eyes, with four or five dishes on its back. It shook its body, and the dishes fell onto the table with the water.
What’s interesting is that there are hot dishes. There seems to be a thin layer of bubbles on each dish to prevent water flow from affecting the taste of the dish. The chopsticks on the table are also coated with a layer of bubbles, which are obviously specially prepared for eating this kind of food.
Various large fish such as black carp, silver carp, loach, black carp and so on shuttled back and forth, occasionally interspersed with the help of some aquatic creatures that were more human-like, as well as the dispatch and command of Yakshas.
The same was true for the guests at the venue. Although most of the ones in the main hall were human-shaped, there were also some with traces of horns or scales and claws. There were even many half-demon water creatures in the side halls. They were simply bizarre.
And because they were all spirits and special vessels, he could see all of this very clearly, which gave him a novel feeling that "this aquarium is really magical."
After all, Old Dragon knew that he was the birthday boy. He raised his glass to everyone and the sound from his mouth spread throughout the water palace like a huge bell.
"Thank you all for coming to congratulate us. We aquatic people don't have many opportunities to get together. My birthday is also a place for us to communicate. There is no need to be restrained when drinking from the same porcelain cup. We can chat at different tables in groups of three or five. Hahahaha..."
After saying that, Lao Long drank the wine in his glass, and all the guests drank consciously as well. However, when Ji Yuan was drinking, Lao Long's voice rang in his ears.
"Mr. Ji, please drink less. I have some good wine hidden away. We will drink alone after the banquet!"
Later, aquatic dancers came in, most of them were half human, half fish, and there were also beautiful girls with transformed bodies leading the dance. The atmosphere of the banquet became lively, and Ji Yuan clearly felt that the attention he received had decreased a lot.
"Uncle Ji, excuse me, is the sword behind you a magical sword?"
The dragon girl Ying Ruoli asked Ji Yuan in a low voice.
Ji Yuan was studying the forbidden patterns on the chopsticks and hadn't said anything yet when the Qingteng Sword behind him suddenly turned by itself, making the Dragon Girl feel as if the other person was looking at her.
